aww, poor babies. if only they didn't literally have the leading nrx thinkers as figures of note in their own community makeup! alas, difficulty: impossible

I did enjoy the handful of strayanisms you dropped along the way
circles were unironically kinda good? bit of a shame that it was a google product tho, along with all the other stupid shit goog pushed
"setting HN on fire" is an unfortunate phrase that one might otherwise wholly be able to get behind
damn english and its imprecision!
"you join google+ because .. a bunch of your friends have just moved from facebook"
point of order: pretty sure most people joined g+ because of that weird-ass "we're going to force EVERYONE with a google account to have a g+ account" shit (you know, that dumb shit which came around at the same time as the disastrously harmful g+ realname policy)
also I passively knew @dgerard was australian but somehow didn't expect quite that accent. keeps momentarily sounding like I'm hearing someone on comms in $game, but nope, not that
immensely rare that I get to listen to podcasts because auditory processing derpery makes spoken things extremely effortful, but giving this a whirl because I'm doing a lot of electronics bullshit this morning so I can actually headspace words for once
regarding the bit at 33:00, that's actually something I've noticed remarkably starkly in fedi so far. the effects of being able to go "lol nah, fuck these clowns" and have some chud server cut off from federation just makes such a remarkably strong collective improvement. it's so thorough that I constantly see people posting about "know what I love about masto? that there's no racists here!". which, y'know, isn't entirely factual, there's absolutely chud instances out there. but the fact that there's no single Arbiter Of The Post Flow just makes so, so much difference
ah, gotcha. so, metal, but not quite the type I had in mind! no worries on the initial confusion, was just not entirely sure what you meant wrt mechanism
Apologies, I meant I have never disruptively edited the article
"what do you mean keep the music down? it's not that loud"
I was simply trying to improve its quality
"I merely wish you to be on my level? what's that, what level is it? it's mine of course, what a ridiculous question"
I'm not a power user of Wikipedia and don't understand all your specialist terminology so forgive me if I make the odd mistake or faux pas
don't even have a sneer for this. this "oh, oops, totes didn't mean to offend!" shit that these fuckers pull when they get caught out is so goddamn tired. facepunch material.
(it's not even particularly "good" darvo)
Please don't doxx me.
"goooootta make the other people responsible for my own actions! that's the ticket!"
christ that second reply is some pure-grade uwu smolbean pretension bullshit
although they seem to be really on the ball with posted TWG updates!
with south california band reject jesus, no less
